    In this essay‚ I would like to discuss one of Robert Browning’s more unsettling poems‚ "Porphyria’s Lover."

    represents love to be eternal. Love has a highly religious motive in Browning’s Sonnets and also that love is transformative. Elizabeth browning wants to be loved for who she is and nothing else. In sonnet fourteen she states “If thou must love me‚ let it be for nought‚ except for love’s sake only. Her poetry can be reflected as a prayer like quality in sonnet 14‚ browning says “I love thee freely‚ I love thee purely‚ I love thee.” The high modality anaphora enhances the religious imagery and the idea
